Spontaneous Directional Self‐Cleaning on the Feathers of the Aquatic Bird Anser cygnoides domesticus Induced by a Transient Superhydrophilicity

Advanced Functional Materials, 2021
In nature, the feathers of the goose Anser cygnoides domesticus stay superhydrophobic over a long term, thought as the main reason for keeping the surface clean.

Statistical physics interpretation of the adsorption mechanism of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ on chicken feathers

, 2020
The mechanism of adsorption of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ on chicken feathers was studied via statistical physics theory. A detailed theoretical analysis was performed using three models that assumed the adsorption of these metal ions via one, two or three ...

Dangerous Feather!

Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2009
A 57-year-old man presented to an outside hospital with episodes of persistent fever. On further history, the patient stated that his current condition started when he "stuck" himself in the back with a "sharp feather" protruding from his sofa 2 weeks before. He underwent transesopheageal echocardiography (TEE) to assess for endocarditis. TEE showed no

Beyond plucking: Feathers bioprocessing into valuable protein hydrolysates.

Waste Management, 2019
The livestock production and subsequent processing of meat results in huge quantities of solid waste such as viscera, bones, skin and keratin-rich materials, including feathers, hair, wool, claws and hooves.

Feather pecking and feather loss.

2004
Characterizing feather peckers seems a viable approach towards a better understanding of the problem of feather pecking. With our current state of knowledge on the causation of feather peckinq, the environmental factors that influence the development of feather pecking and the characteristics of feather peckers and non-feather peckers, it should be ...

The Early Origin of Feathers.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2019
Feathers have long been regarded as the innovation that drove the success of birds. However, feathers have been reported from close dinosaurian relatives of birds, and now from ornithischian dinosaurs and pterosaurs, the cousins of dinosaurs.

Feathered dinosaurs

Current Biology, 2020
Feathers are the most complex integumentary structures in the animal world. They come in a variety of forms, the most familiar of which are remiges (flight feathers). Flight feathers are composed of a central shaft made up of a hollow calamus (quill), which is inserted into the skin, and a more distal rachis.

Valorisation of chicken feathers: Characterisation of thermal, mechanical and electrical properties

Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy, 2018
Increasing consumption of chicken results in generation of large amounts of wastes that need to be disposed of properly. Chicken feathers constitute about 5–10% of the weight of the chicken and thus they comprise a significant portion of the poultry ...

Feathers as bioresource: Microbial conversion into bioactive protein hydrolysates

Process Biochemistry, 2018
Feathers are recalcitrant protein-rich by-products generated by the poultry agro-industry, and valorization of residual biomasses from industrial processing is increasingly focused.
